The only lack of communication seems to have come from you. We regularly get ``heads up'' messages, most of which are presented correctly and thus work fine. We have this ``level of communication'' now because a large number of people feel that this significant change has been mismanaged. If you disagree, you should explain why you think the heads up would not be productive, bearing in mind that you will need to convince most readers of your opinion.
